Eternal life begins with saving my clan-Chapter 27: The deal that left everyone shocked

Clearing his throat, Zhang Tao looked at Su Yen, a calm and proud expression on his face. However, their show of respect toward Su Yen stemmed from their desire to gain something from him.

Previously, no one had cared about the Sun Sacred Clan. But with the invention of the Metal Bone Construct, everything changed.

Now, to avoid defeat by their enemies, they needed to equip their soldiers with the Metal Bone Construct.

Therefore, they needed the Sun Sacred Clan.

"Clan Master Su, I'd like to purchase the secret technique for creating the Metal Bone Construct. Name your price," Zhang Tao said calmly, exuding confidence.

To him, how could a kid like Su Yen dare to reject him?

Hearing this, everyone inside the hall fixed their gaze on Su Yen, waiting for his response.

Observing Zhang Tao's confident and proud smile, Su Yen couldn't help but wonder. Is he delusional?

How could he need something from me and behave like that?

Does this approach actually work on other people?

Sighing, Su Yen dismissed these unnecessary thoughts and fixed his gaze on Zhang Tao for a moment before shifting his attention away.

"The secret of creating the Metal Bone Construct is not for sale. If you have anything else to discuss, please do so quickly. My time is precious," he said, his voice calm, but the depth of his words was apparent to everyone.

As for Zhang Tao, the proud smile on his face froze. He had expected Su Yen to negotiate if he was going to reject the offer.

Returning from his reverie, Zhang Tao regained his composure and proud smile before speaking.

"Clan Master..."

"If you have anything to propose other than buying the secret of the Metal Bone Construct, please speak. But if not, kindly remain silent," Su Yen interrupted with a firm voice.

Hmm!

Everyone inside the room was left dumbfounded, while Zhang Tao's mouth hung open.

For a couple of seconds, the hall fell into complete silence. Su Yen wasn't the pushover they had assumed.

The people inside the hall exchanged subtle glances, uncertain about who would speak next.

"Clan Master Su," Wu Bin said, her voice calm and charming, capturing everyone's attention.

"Since we can't purchase the secret of the Metal Bone Construct, I believe I have a better offer," she said slowly.

"Which is..." Su Yen inquired.

"The Crimson Jade Pavilion is willing to partner with the Su Clan in the sale and production of the Metal Bone Construct. We propose a 40-60 split in your favor," she said calmly, her gaze fixed on Su Yen's face.

Shaking his head, Su Yen said, "We won't enter into a partnership with anyone. We will remain the sole producers of the armor, and that won't change..." He paused and locked eyes with Wu Bin.

"Instead of coming here and presenting unacceptable conditions, why don't you start by stating what I want?"

Hearing this, Wu Bin was slightly surprised but managed to control her expression as she responded with slight irritation.

"Did you impose these conditions on Clan Master Huang before striking a deal with them? I presume not. Is it because she was the acclaimed Goddess of the Barren Lands, known for her beauty, that she received everything so easily?"

Hearing this, the hall descended into another round of abrupt silence as they exchanged glances.

"Miss Wu, I believe meddling in other people's business is not why you're here. Besides, never use that tone with me again. I'm neither your employee nor your servant. If this happens again, I won't tolerate it lying down," Su Yen's cold voice echoed through the hall, making everyone realize that the temperature inside had dropped several degrees.

Meanwhile, Wu Bin realized that her jealousy of Huang Yin had gotten the better of her. She had been competing with Clan Master Huang for years for the title of Barren Lands Goddess but had failed to wrest it from her grasp.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Bin stood and offered a slight bow. "I apologize for my outburst. I hope Clan Master Su will forgive me."

Hearing this, everyone inside the hall was surprised, including Su Yen. Everyone knew the power and influence of the Crimson Jade Pavilion, as well as Wu Bin's pride.

Today's actions had reshaped everyone's perception.

"Since Miss Wu has apologized, let's consider it in the past now," Su Yen said calmly.

"Now, let me outline what you need to agree to before working with us," he began, his tone serious.

"You will manufacture the armor, and the Su Clan will handle the finishing touches that make it functional."

"For this, you will pay ten thousand gold coins just to enter into this agreement. After that, we will take 70 percent of every sale, leaving you with the rest," he stated calmly, unconcerned about their displeasure.

"If you agree to these terms, you can stay. If not, please leave immediately," he added with a faint curl of his lips.
